San Francisco once again won the Western League in 1922, giving the Gold Rush five straight playoff berths and four league titles in that stretch. SF had the most runs scored at 907 and finished 100-62. Las Vegas took the second place spot at 91-71 for their first ever playoff berth. This left San Diego, Nashville, New Orleans, and Oklahoma City as the only AA franchises without one playoff appearance in the first 22 years of Major League Baseball.

The Knights came close to getting their first spot, but 98 wins put Nashville third in the Southern League. Houston won the SL with the best AA record at 103-59, followed by Atlanta second at 100-62. The Aces had the league MVP in first baseman Israel Bishop as the lefty from Grenada led the AA in runs (123), hits (220), RBI (128) and average (.351). Hornets ace Newton Persaud won his fourth Pitcher of the Year, leading the AA in WAR for the sixth straight season.

In the first round of the playoffs, Houston swept Los Vegas and Atlanta upset San Francisco in four games. The Aces would fall in the AACS for the second straight year as the Hornets won in five, sending them to their second World Series in three years and eighth WS appearance overall.

In the National Association, Buffalo was the top team with a 100-62 mark atop the Eastern League. Seven teams were within six games of second place with Philadelphia taking second at 92-70, one up on Hartford, two on Baltimore, three on Boston, four on New York, five on Toronto, and six on Washington.

The Midwest League was even tighter with four teams within one game of each other for the top spot. Cleveland and Kansas City both finished 90-72 with Cincinnati and Columbus one back at 89-73. As both clinched a playoff spot, the Cobras and Cougars didn’t have to play a one-game playoff, with Cleveland getting the tiebreaker for the ML title. It was a huge turnaround for the Cobras, who hadn’t won more than 61 games in a season in their last three years.

Pitcher of the Year went to Nick Bermea. After four PotYs in CABA with Juarez, the Columbus, Georgia native returned to America by signing with Philadelphia and tossing a NA best 2.55 ERA at age 32. St. Louis slugger Elijah Cashman had his first career MVP at age 25 with a 1.060 OPS. His 46 home runs was third in the NA. Next year, he’d begin a streak of eight years as the Association leader in dingers.

It would be an all-Midwest Association final after Cleveland defeated Philadelphia in four and Kansas City topped Buffalo in four in the first round. The Cobras bested the Cougars in six, ending KC’s run for the second straight year in the NACS and giving Cleveland their first World Series appearance. Their first title would have to come another year as Houston won the World Series in six games; the Hornets’ sixth overall MLB crown and second in three years. First baseman Emanuel McCain won WS MVP with 20 hits, 12 runs, and 11 RBI over his postseason.

Other Notes: Denver and former Omaha Shortstop Lee Chase won his 10^th Gold Glove. Christopher Ross became the fourth hitter to 500 career home runs. Denver pitcher Regal Lewis became the third pitcher to 3500 career strikeouts.
